The petals looks gorgeous, like they were made of shiny satin.

Oh...I tried to grow these in my front garden this summer...bought about four packages of seed....and only ONE came up, and it disappeared...I think the rabbit ate it!... Such a wonderful wild flower...

But, unfortunately fairly invasive here in the Pacific Northwest. Someone planted them in our community garden and now we all are battling to stop them crowding out our vegetables.
